Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Wave Hill agate, from Australia's Northern Territory. Seldom have I been so delighted by a 'new' material, but this exceptional agate made a fan out of me with the first one I cut. Everyone who sees the cabs is impressed by them! When Terry Maple spied these agates at this year's Tucson show, he bought the entire lot! Bless his heart for sending some fine little nodules home for me to enjoy! This example has beautiful banding, several intersting orbs of various sizes, and striking contrast in earthy shades of cream, brown, puce, white, and charcoal, with a lovely blush of peach that sets it all off. There are also a few tiny black dendrites in some of the white areas. Yes indeedy, this agate is nothing short of amazing, and I'm crazy about it, can you tell? The uniqueness of each Wave Hill agate makes it a lapidary's fantasy, a collector's MUST HAVE, and I have no doubt it'll be a jewelry designer's best friend. This stone has a low but well rounded dome of 4mm, a versatile egg shape, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
